Abandonned comic with Orson Welles

"The Cigar That Fell in Love With a Pipe" ("L'histoire du cigare amoureux d'une pipe")

I worked on it 5 years ago with the writer David Camus. I didn't have the time and the maturity to go on though. So the comic is now on another illustror's hands. And it will get published at Self MadeHero this April, I read in David Camus's blog.

It starts with Orson Welles smoking a very rare cigar and as the story progresses, you learn how this cigar was made and about the spirit within. Obviously, I went to the library looking for Cuba's pictures and documentation, but also at the Hollywood pre-war period.
